"Izzy" is a coming 4-year-old IDSH filly. She will mature to 15.2h+ tall. Izzy is by PL Diamond Hill and out of PL Indy. She is a barn favorite and really coming into her own! She is under saddle at the walk/trot/canter and is learning about contact. She knows both of her leads and has been establishing her footwork over cavelletti poles. She is brave and hacks out quietly alone or in groups. Izzy is eager to please and loves attention. She has competed in Intro A at her first dressage competition, where she was both Champion and High Score in her division with a score of 71%. She is a quiet ride both in the arena and out in the fields. Before beginning her under saddle training, she went to several Future Event Horse competitions, and not only always placed, but even won a few classes. She trailer loads, leads, lunges, stands for the farrier/vet, stands in cross-ties and does in-hand work. She is showing a strong desire to please and is a quick learner! Her full siblings are currently competing in dressage and eventing with young riders and are doing very well. Izzy will make a great dressage, eventing or jumper prospect and is suitable for an amateur or professional. Her price will increase with training. Come meet this sweet girl today before someone else does! $12,500

Stephen Bradley Re-cap & Glenda in Ireland!
Good morning!
This past weekend was our last clinic of the year. We had the wonderful Stephen Bradley back at Playland for a jumping clinic. Everyone had a lot of fun and did really well! We can't thank Stephen enough for coming out to the farm to teach. Here are some photos from the day thanks to Maya Kuntze Photography:
